The Somerset Reporter says: An attempt
was made few weeks ago to dismiss the
school teacher, Miss Annie Williams, from
the school at the village. Many of the in
habtants did not like this, as it was generally
thought that Miss Williams was a reliable
teacher and fully able to keep the school,
Two petitions were circulated and seven
eig. this of the district signed them reque sting
that Miss Williams be returned to the school.
One of these petitions was forwar to Miss
Williams, who consented to return, the other
one WAS forwarded to the Supervisor. and
after a consideration he concluded not TO let
her keep school. This action excited the
district all the more, and most of the citizens
were determined that Miss Williams should
teach the school if they had to raise the
money by private subscription. This, how
ever was not needed as the Supervisor called
a meeting to investigate the matter more
and it was proved that there were
no reasons whatever to turn Miss Williams
out of the school.

purpose of completing, or as they term it,
